Credentials, Reputation, and the Blockchain
"The first sets of blockchain-based credential systems, such as blockcerts, represent an important step toward an open digital credentialing ecosystem. They give us a foundation and new tools to experiment with. We can now start building out larger implementations, and experimenting with blockchain-based credentials in different settings, and learn more about the best ways to manage and govern the evolution of open standards for digital credentials." —J. Philipp Schmidt, EDUCAUSE Review
